Not sure why Leisesturm thinks this would be a marriage breaker. My commute into center city philadelphia is 24.4 mi each way. Door to door time is only 10-20 minutes longer than taking the train. I doubt driving would be much faster either due to rush hour gridlock. I commute by bike 1-3 days per week getting in a couple nice workouts without hardly taking any time away from my family. I don't catch any flak for commute rides.
